Udemy – STM32 Embedded Rust: Foundations & Peripherals – Part 1

STM32 Embedded Rust: Foundations & Peripherals — Part 1 takes you from the fundamentals of embedded Rust to writing safe, efficient firmware that interacts directly with real hardware. You’ll learn how to use Rust in a resource-constrained no_std environment, work with STM32 microcontrollers through Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs), and control essential peripherals such as GPIO, UART, and timers. Along the way, you’ll discover how Rust’s ownership and type systems can help you write embedded software that is safer, more reliable, and easier to maintain—without sacrificing the low-level control and performance that STM32 developers expect.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Set up a Rust development environment for STM32 embedded development
• Understand the fundamentals of Rust in a no_std environment
• Use STM32 HALs to interact with microcontroller peripherals
• Configure and control GPIO
• Implement serial communication using UART
• Work with hardware timers and timing
• Understand and use interrupts
• Apply Rust’s ownership and borrowing model to embedded firmware
• Safely manage resources shared between different parts of your application
• Build efficient firmware without a garbage collector or runtime overhead
• Understand the relationship between Rust’s safety guarantees and embedded systems programming
